Human Adult Stem Cells May Repair Hearts

Coronary heart disease can lead to numerous health problems. Many individuals who suffer from this disease will find themselves in need of long-term disability benefits while they are unable to work.

Researchers from the Mayo Clinic have recently discovered that human adult stem cells may repair damaged hearts. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were harvested from the bone marrow of patients with coronary artery disease and it was found that after a 1-year follow-up, there was significant functioning. In addition, there were no adverse side effects.

The researchers were able to specifically discover:

• Heart tissue healed;
• Cardiac and vascular cells played a part in regeneration;
• Heart structures within the damaged area were strengthened and repaired; and
• Scars from heart damage were found to fade away.

Further clinical evaluation of adult stem cells will be used to determine the extent of repair that they may have on hearts. Long-term, this could lead to new regenerative medicine therapy for individuals who suffer from chronic heart failure.
